Best Mosquito Repellents of 2022
Four highly effective products that keep mosquitoes away
How well a mosquito repellent works is the primary consideration. It must keep mosquitoes away from your body, or away from a particular area such as a campsite or backyard, as efficiently as possible for as long as possible.
There are two primary methods: topical lotions and airborne repellents. You may need to apply repellent to exposed skin areas in some situations, such as when hiking, or you may need to provide large-scale repellent during a gathering, such as a cookout. Personal preference matters here, too, because you may want to use a natural mosquito repellent—though many aren’t as effective as manufactured repellents (even though many are perfectly safe).
L'efficacité va de pair avec le coût. Vous pouvez estimer qu'il ne vaut pas la peine de dépenser beaucoup d'argent en échange d'une heure ou deux sur le patio et préférer rester à l'intérieur. Mais si vous faites du camping, vous ne pouvez pas passer tout votre temps dans une tente et vous devez donc investir dans un répulsif de qualité.
Let’s take a look at the best mosquito repellents on the market today, their pros and cons, and the situations for which they’re best suited.

- Best for Camping: OFF! Deep Woods Sportsman
- Best Natural: Cutter Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent
